.Sh NAME
.Nm iscsi.conf
.Nd ISCSI daemon configuration file
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Xr iscsid 8
daemon implements the Internet Small Computer Systems Interface as described
in RFC 3720.
.Pp
The
.Nm
configuration file is divided into the following main sections:
.Bl -tag -width xxxx
.It Sy Macros
User-defined variables may be defined and used later, simplifying the
configuration file.
.It Sy Global Configuration
Global settings for
.Xr iscsid 8 .
.It Sy Target Configuration
Target-specific parameters.
.El
.Pp
With the exception of macros,
the sections should be grouped and appear in
.Nm
in the order shown above.
.Pp
The current line can be extended over multiple lines using a backslash
.Pq Sq \e .
Comments can be put anywhere in the file using a hash mark
.Pq Sq # ,
and extend to the end of the current line.
Care should be taken when commenting out multi-line text:
the comment is effective until the end of the entire block.
.Pp
Argument names not beginning with a letter, digit, or underscore
must be quoted.
.Pp
Additional configuration files can be included with the
.Ic include
keyword, for example:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
include "/etc/iscsi-target.conf"
.Ed
.Sh MACROS
Macros can be defined that will later be expanded in context.
Macro names must start with a letter, digit, or underscore,
and may contain any of those characters.
Macro names may not be reserved words (for example,
.Ic target ,
or
.Ic port ) .
Macros are not expanded inside quotes.
.Pp
For example:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
target1="1.2.3.4"
target "disk1" {
        targetaddr $target1
}
.Ed
.Sh GLOBAL CONFIGURATION
There are a few settings that affect the operation of the
.Xr iscsid 8
daemon globally.
.Pp
.Bl -tag -width Ds -compact
.It Xo
.Ic isid
.Pq Ic oui Ns | Ns Ic en Ns | Ns Ic rand
.Ar base qual
.Xc
The Initiator Session ID
.Ic isid
specifies the initiator part of the Session Identifier.
It is set during startup of
.Xr iscsid 8
and is used for session reinstatement.
By default a random
.Ic isid
is generated on startup.
The random
.Ic rand
form has a 24-bit random number as
.Ar base
and a 16-bit
.Ar qual
qualifier.
The
.Ic oui
format uses a 22-bit
.Ar base
OUI and a 24-bit
.Ar qual
qualifier.
The IANA enterprise number format
.Ic en
uses the 24-bit enterprise number in
.Ar base
and a 16-bit
.Ar qual
qualifier.
.El
.Sh TARGET CONFIGURATION
.Xr iscsid 8
establishes TCP connections to iSCSI targets.
Each target is specified by a
.Em target
section, which allows properties to be set specifically for that target:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
target disk1 {
	targetaddr 10.0.0.2
	targetname "iqn.1994-04.org.netbsd.iscsi-target:target:0"
}
.Ed
.Pp
There are several target properties:
.Bl -tag -width Ds
.It Op Ic disabled Ns | Ns Ic enabled
No session will be established to the target if
.Ic disabled
is set.
The default value is
.Ic enabled .
.It Op Ic discovery Ns | Ns Ic normal
Define the type of session that will be established.
It is possible to initiate a special
.Ic discovery
session to a target to enumerate the available volumes.
.It Xo
.Ic initiatoraddr Ar addr
.Op Ic inet Ns | Ns Ic inet6
.Xc
When
.Xr iscsid 8
initiates the TCP connection to the target system, it normally does not
bind to a specific IP address and port.
If an
.Ic initiatoraddr
is given,
it binds to this address first.
.It Ic initiatorname Ar string
Specify the
.Ic initiatorname
used to connect to the remote target.
The
.Ic initiatorname
can be used to restrict access to a target.
If not given,
.Xr iscsid 8
will use
.Em iqn.1995-11.org.openbsd.iscsid
as default.
.It Xo
.Ic targetaddr Ar addr
.Op Ic inet Ns | Ns Ic inet6
.Op Ic port Ar num
.Xc
Define the target IP address which
.Xr iscsid 8
should connect to.
By default port 3260 will be used.
.It Ic targetname Ar string
The
.Ic targetname
specifies which LUN or disk should be requested by
.Xr iscsid 8 .
It is possible to enumerate remote systems with a
.Ic discovery
session.
